How it began...

Welcome to my very first blog!

I should probably start by introducing myself, my name is Rachel and I am a 19 year old student studying Physics in the UK.

I have applied for the Walt Disney World (WDW) Summer Work Experience in Summer 2013! The program enables students to work for WDW during their summer break for up to 3 months. There are various roles that you could be working in and you will be living in apartments on Disney property with up to 7 other housemates from all around the world.

The main reason for this blog is so that I can document my journey through the process and hopefully help other people applying for the program in later years. I realise I may not get on to the program but I will definitely try and keep it updated with random Disney stuff to keep the magic alive! :)

I heard about the WDW program through the internet somehow, I am a member of the DIS boards so there was a college board on there but it was more focused on the American college program. I read a lot of blogs and I kept thinking how amazing it would be but I had my doubts since if I got on the program I would be away from my family and I wasn't sure if I would be able to cope. After telling my parents about it and a lot more thinking I finally decided to apply in mid-August 2012. I might as well go for it and see if I can get on the program. It is one of these opportunities that truly once in a life-time and I would be honoured to be part of it! 

In my next post I'll talk about my application!
Have a magical day! :)
